March 02, 2020
The Tallahassee Police Department is currently investigating a three-vehicle traffic crash at the intersection of Lake Bradford Road and Jackson Bluff Road. A Tallahassee Police Officer was traveling north on Lake Bradford Road with their blue lights and sirens activated when their vehicle was struck by another car who had entered the intersection from Jackson Bluff Road. The collision pushed the police vehicle into another car. The officer was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. When the crash occurred, the officer had been responding to assist other officers on a call for service.
The investigation is open and active, and there is no further information to release at this time.
Although the injuries were minor, the Traffic Homicide Unit has been called to the scene and have assumed the investigation in accordance with the policy governing crashes which occur when a TPD vehicle is operating in an emergency mode. TPD is asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash, but did not speak with an officer on scene, or anyone with information about the accident to please call 850-891-4200 and ask to speak with the Traffic Homicide Unit. They may also remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 850-574-TIPS.
Northbound traffic on Lake Bradford Road will be shut down for the next few hours, but it is anticipated the road will be open prior to the morning commute.
